battles within me

my mind
a terrifying yet beautiful place
this is my truth
it is as if though i live with the wisdom of a woman with many lives
is it possible that my soul could have ventured the earth before my physical body?
at times it is a bountiful of wonders
something i can give unto others that wont expire
something to soften the blow of the cruel world weve become accustomed to
and even perhaps
this knowledge could be the very thing
that keeps one person trying again each day
but at times
it is also my own fingernails prying at my skin
a bittersweet taste
that cultivates inside my mouth
each time i have to bite down on my good intent
a ticking time bomb
from a grieving yet selfless heart
crawling its way up my throat.
